There is a connection between Pat and sleaze. Patpong, Patong and Pattaya are all full of old men and young Thai girls. It looks like you can add Vientiane to this list as well, with far too many older men and young Lao girls roaming about the place.
If you ever come to Laos, then a quick stop in Vientiane to experience some good, cheap French food will make it worth the trip, but other than that, this place is a waste of time (unless you really, really, really love Wats). There are too many riverside eateries, too many restaurants, too many tuk tuks, too many Wats and not enough tourists. The whole place seems empty.
Will be good to get up to Luang Prabang today. The whole town has been heritage listed, and I've heard good things about it. Hope it lives up to the hype!
